Nentawe Yilwatda emerges new APC National Chairman
The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Nentawe Yilwatda, has been elected as the new National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
His emergence followed his nomination and election by members of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) during a meeting held in Abuja on Thursday.
Yilwatda’s nomination was moved by the Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum and Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, and was seconded by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen.
The motion was unanimously approved through a voice vote by NEC members present.
His appointment comes at a crucial time as the APC seeks to strengthen its grip on power both at the federal level and in states where recent defections have bolstered the ruling party’s presence.
The 56-year-old politician succeeds Abdullahi Ganduje, who stepped down as party chairman in June, citing personal reasons.
